Seems Video Copilot was recently featured in a cool segment on animation over at the G4 network. Needless to say it put a big smile on our faces.

Gongratz, while I'm writing Andrew, this question has been bugging me for months now. Are U behind the design for the opening and bumps on Rachael Maddow???? So simple but so effective. Reminded me that everything doesn't have to have a backflipping wow factor.

I'm an editor at G4 and I've been telling people about your website for a year now. Looks like they finally listened to me. We're really big fans of your stuff. Keep up the great work! BTW, Michael a lot of those bumpers and cool intros are done in Smoke.
If any of you guys go to concerts and stuff you'll notice how much of andrew's stuff gets used. I was at Armin Van Burren's event the other night and a lot of the elements from Evolution got played there. Also a lot of particular presets.
ATOS has some really great and creative bumpers. Would be great to see VCP do some tutorials centered around some of those cool effects.

I'm waiting for that amazing preset you promised 
This feels like that time when you showed us how action movie essentials was used in call of duty 4

Hey AK,
There is a new series here in the UK called 'Demons', I'm sure they are using some of your tut's to create the intro.
PS. Happy new year !!

Seems that you now get the attention you should get.
By the way:
I've seen a commercial and also an MTV Clip on german television. Both very familiar to some of your tutorials!

Congratulations Andrew. I live in Mexico, and see that Televisa and TV Azteca use your stuff all the time. Definetely you have done us a big favor thanks for sharing the knowledge.
That was sweet. Never really watched the G4 channel. My own personal boycott against Comcast for destroying TechTV all those years ago. But free advertising is Free advertising. Way to Go Andrew and the rest of the crew!!!

Wow, you are the best of the best.
Anyways Andrew, do you plan to release tutorial of those examples that you've shown us like Fold-Out Animation or something

It's about time you got some recognition from the main stream media.
I'm surprised Adobe hasn't offered you anything yet. If there's somebody who promotes AE the best it's you!
Peace Out Bro!

Andrew's lessons are applied to this tv show in San Francisco, LA and San Diego..
note a familiar tutorial about 1:13 into this video..
http://www.technowtv.com/?cat=9991945&subcat=4524034&video=105
and about 8 seconds into this one..
http://www.technowtv.com/?cat=9991945&subcat=4524034&video=113
and this uses Action Movie Essentials at :57
http://www.technowtv.com/?cat=9991945&subcat=4524034&video=66
They're not the best work, but not bad for a guy teaching himself (via Andrew, Aaron and a bunch of books from Barnes and Noble).
Keep up the great work Andrew!

I've noticed how the products here on videocopilot are being used widely on in the real industry. I've seen stuff on Animal Planet which undoubtetly must have been Riot Gear. And some other stuff on Channel 5 here in Sweden, when they show teasers of upcoming series and films i've noticed that they've used Twitch. So congrats Andrew. Stay the best!

awesome piece on video copilot!! now everyone will know what we already know, which is how amazing this site is! thanks to the whole team at VCP!
Nice work, man! I noticed The Sports Network (TSN) here in Canada used some Evolution stuff for a World Junior Hockey promo. Their people throw in VCP stuff pretty regularly. It seems that you've reached motion graphics people at pretty much every level. Way to go!
I also noticed an effect at the bottom of the Eagles-Vikings game using a grass graphic in the same way you used that plant image, zooming through multiple layers. I don't know if that was TSN or ESPN that did that one, but the timing would lead me to think that they got the idea from you.
Regardless, you guys are awesome!

Good to see you guys get some publicity for what you do for the community.
Congratulations Andrew!
Clearly we can see that you are doing fantastically well in the world. I work at the Movies and have noticed a lot of your Content/Products featured in the Ending + Beginning credits of movies.
For Example if you see 'Yes Man' be sure to look out for Andrew's 'Riot Gear' paint splatter footage's overlayed to the shots.

Excellent, and well-deserved.....I cracked up when they added a car crash SFX to the clip where Sam gets hit by the car....It had me rolling...CRUNCH...LOL.... this proves that Sam is a Cyborg and when he gets hit by a car it makes metal crunching sounds....AHA...I knew it.
